Abstract

A vacancy model has been used to simulate compound growth in binary couples. Near-linear growth kinetics is predicted during the initial stage of planar compound formation. The growth kinetics ultimately becomes parabolic (compound layer thickness2 proportional to formation time). The qualitative effect of impurities and microstructure on the growthrate has been investigated.
